They say if you can survive a Minnesota winter together, you can survive anything. ❄️☕ But while we’re bundling up to beat the "winter blues," many cohabiting couples are overlooking a major safety net: their legal protection.

In our latest blog post, we discuss why this "planning season" is the perfect time to move beyond survival and start having those clear conversations about finances, healthcare directives, and cohabitation agreements. Don't let the "what-ifs" simmer under the surface this winter.

A collaborative postnuptial agreement — a contract made after marriage outlining how assets and responsibilities will be handled in the event of divorce or death — can be a proactive tool to protect both parties and bring clarity to the relationship.

A cohabitation agreement—when executed properly—is a legally binding document that can provide clarity and protection for couples moving in together or signing their first lease or mortgage paperwork together.
